Air-Cooled Gathering
Wait, you're telling me the trunk is in the front?
The annual Air-Cooled Gathering presented by the H.H. Franklin Collection will feature rare, air-cooled cars including early examples of Franklins, Frayer-Miller, and Holmes as well as VW, Corvair, Tatra, Porsche, Citroen and more!
All are welcome, with common or unique, modern or antique, together sharing one engineering concept, direct air cooling. Open to all air-cooled vehicles.
Visit the H.H. Franklin Collection display in the vintage Franklin Motors dealership on Gilmore Car Museum’s historic campus for a whole showroom of air cooled cars. And, don’t forget to follow the H.H. Franklin Club Inc. on Facebook at “Franklin Automobile Collection at Hickory Corners.”
